Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. HOW DO YOU CONNECT AN ORDINARY SMARTPHONE TO A SATELLITE HUNDREDS OF KILOMETRES ABOVE EARTH-AND MAKE THE LINK ACTUALLY WORK?A smartphone was never designed to communicate directly with a spacecraft travelling at orbital velocity. Yet direct-to-device satellite connectivity is turning that seemingly impossible link into a practical communications architecture.The challenge is not simply putting a cellular radio in space. It is closing the link-despite limited handset power, small antennas, extreme Doppler, long propagation paths, fading, interference, spectrum constraints, and rapidly changing orbital geometry.Direct-to-Device Satellite Communications Handbook takes you through the complete engineering chain, from orbit and link budget to RF payload, waveform, NTN protocols, network architecture, verification, deployment, and constellation economics.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNOrbital mechanics, coverage geometry, slant range, elevation, and pass durationComplete forward- and return-link budget methodologyPropagation loss, fading, shadowing, multipath, and handset body effectsSpacecraft apertures, phased arrays, beamforming, EIRP, G/T, and RF front endsSpectrum licensing, supplemental coverage, PFD limits, and coexistence3GPP Non-Terrestrial Network architecture and protocol adaptationDoppler shift, Doppler rate, propagation delay, timing, and frequency compensationRandom access, mobility, handover, tracking areas, and beam managementWaveforms, coding, repetition, link adaptation, and low-SNR operationCapacity planning, interference management, frequency reuse, and beam hoppingGateways, feeder links, rain attenuation, site diversity, and ground infrastructureTransparent and regenerative payload architecturesMessaging, emergency communications, narrowband voice, IoT, and store-and-forward servicesChannel emulation, satellite emulation, OTA testing, and field validationSecurity, authentication, privacy, GNSS dependency, spoofing, and threat modellingPositioning, timing, ranging, and delay-tolerant networkingMaritime, aviation, vehicular, wearable, and machine-type terminalsConstellation deployment, lifetime, replenishment, reliability, and economicsComplete reference architectures, worked examples, design worksheets, and problem setsFROM ORBIT TO HANDSETThe central engineering reality is simple: THE HANDSET IS THE CONSTRAINED ELEMENT.Its limited transmit power, antenna gain, orientation, blockage, and operating environment place demanding requirements on the spacecraft, waveform, protocol, spectrum plan, and constellation.This handbook develops that relationship quantitatively-showing how orbital geometry becomes a link budget, how the link budget drives payload and waveform decisions, how those decisions affect capacity and interference, and how the resulting architecture must ultimately be verified and deployed.BUILT FOR ENGINEERSDesigned for RF, wireless, telecommunications, satellite, aerospace, 5G/6G, NTN, antenna, payload, modem, chipset, and systems engineers-as well as researchers, graduate students, network architects, satellite operators, and technical programme teams.Prior satellite experience is helpful, but not required. A foundation in electromagnetics, digital communications, and probability is sufficient to follow the engineering chain.DON'T JUST STUDY WHAT DIRECT-TO-DEVICE SATELLITE CONNECTIVITY PROMISES.UNDERSTAND THE ENGINEERING THAT MAKES IT WORK.S Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. ONE WRONG MOVE ON AN ENERGIZED LINE CAN END A CAREER OR A LIFE. ARE YOU TRULY READY FOR WHAT THE JOB DEMANDS?Line work sits at a brutal intersection: deep electrical engineering theory on one side, split second field judgment on the other. Most training resources force you to choose between a dense textbook that never touches a bucket truck and a field manual that hands you procedures without ever explaining the "why" behind them. That gap gets apprentices hurt, slows down journeyman development, and leaves even experienced crews second guessing calculations they should know cold.The Lineman's Field Handbook closes that gap for good. This complete reference builds your knowledge the way the trade actually demands it, starting with circuit theory and system fundamentals, moving through the regulatory framework that governs every energized task (NESC, OSHA 1910.269, 29 CFR 1926 Subpart V), and advancing into the hands on craft: PPE and arc flash protection, grounding and bonding, poles and structures, conductors, overhead and underground construction, transformers, protective devices, energized work methods, rigging and aerial equipment, substation fundamentals, systematic troubleshooting, and storm restoration.Every chapter opens with clear learning objectives, works through fully explained calculations, not just final answers, and closes with practice problems and a complete answer key, built for apprenticeship exam prep, on the job reference, and self paced mastery alike.Inside, you'll gain the ability to: Calculate voltage drop, fault current, and grounding resistance with confidence instead of guessworkNavigate NESC and OSHA requirements without getting buried in cross referencesSelect and inspect PPE and rubber goods correctly, every single timeApply grounding sequences that actually protect you, not just satisfy a checklistRead single line diagrams and utility circuit maps like a seasoned crew leadTroubleshoot systematically instead of chasing symptomsWalk into a storm restoration assignment prepared, not overwhelmedThis handbook was built for: Apprentice linemen preparing for certification and journeyman examsJourneyman linemen who want a single, trustworthy field referenceLine crew supervisors and foremen training the next generationUtility safety officers and trainers building internal curriculumElectrical engineering students entering distribution side careersAnyone who needs distribution line theory and field procedure in one authoritative sourceCodes change. Storms don't wait. Your reference material should never be the weak link.Scroll up and grab your copy of The Lineman's Field Handbook today. The trade doesn't give second chances, and neither should your prep. This item is printed on demand.
